HoN: Reborn – Key Updates, iGames Partnership, and What’s Next!
We understand that the community has many questions and concerns regarding HoN: Reborn and iGames. With that in mind, we would like to address some key topics in this post.
HoN: Reborn & iGames
At its core, iGames is a powerful system designed to support and facilitate the creation of custom games and maps, drawing significant inspiration from the legendary Warcraft 3 modding scene. We are fully utilizing iGames' economy, engine, server infrastructure, and more, and we are confident in the strength of this partnership. Heroes of Newerth: Reborn is built on iGames and will be available on all platforms that support it. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding platform availability.
Our top priority with Heroes of Newerth: Reborn is to revive HoN, restore it to its former glory, and ensure it receives the updates and support it truly deserves. This project is about bringing back the fast-paced gameplay, competitive depth, and unique experience that made HoN special. At the same time, we recognize that HoN itself was born from a custom game (Dota) and that same spirit of creativity and innovation is something we want to inspire in the community once again. With the right tools, passionate players and hobbyists can create incredible games and maps, just as HoN once emerged from a passionate modding scene. By showcasing what’s possible with iGames, we hope to encourage a new wave of community-driven content, ensuring HoN thrives while also fostering fresh ideas and experiences in the gaming world.
Development Progress & Visual Enhancements
We want to emphasize that Heroes of Newerth: Reborn remains in active development. While we are thrilled with the progress made so far, we recognize that there is still significant work ahead. The overwhelming support we've received has been truly inspiring. In less than a week since our announcement, we've already surpassed $100,000 in funding (including more than $14,000 towards the competitive scene), a milestone that reinforces the passion of our community. We also recognize the high expectations surrounding HoN: Reborn and are fully prepared to meet them.
For those who have seen recent screenshots, particularly the "All Heroes" image, please note that nearly all of the heroes will receive substantial visual enhancements as development continues. Additionally, many beloved fan-favorite cosmetics will make a return, with improvements to align with modern visual standards.
We are excited to share our progress with you through regular video and screenshot updates as development advances.
